Hood Opening and Closing

In the case of an unlatched hood, the red Door Open warning indicator appears on the Cockpit Panel. If this occurs, Lucid recommends you stop the vehicle in a safe location and place the vehicle in P (Park). Then check if the hood is correctly closed.



If the vehicle is in D (Drive) or R (Reverse) and the hood is unlatched, it will be highlighted red.

Opening the hood

Note: All electrical unlatching of the hood is disabled when the vehicle is in motion.

To electronically open and close the hood:

  • Use the Lucid mobile app.

  • On the Pilot Panel, select and press the hood opening icon.
  • On the Pilot Panel, select >  DOORS and press the hood opening icon.
  • Press and hold the key fob within 6.5 feet (2 m) of the front trunk.

Once you have successfully unlatched the hood, you may raise it. The hood has two gas struts to aid in opening and to hold it in the open position.



Note: In frigid temperatures, you may find that the gas struts do not hold the hood open as firmly as they do in warmer temperatures.

Closing the hood automatically

To close the hood using the power-assist system:

  • Use the Lucid mobile app.

  • Select and press the hood close icon on the Pilot Panel.
  • Select >  DOORS and press the hood close icon on the Pilot Panel.
  • Press and release the close button on the front edge of the frunk.

Automatic movement stop

If anything obstructs the hood to prevent it from opening or closing, it will stop moving.

Note: The Cockpit Panel alerts you if the hood stops automatically.

If the hood stops due to an obstruction, remove it and try to open or close again. If it cannot be opened or closed a second time, try to operate the hood manually.

Closing the hood manually

Note: Some models may come equipped with Power Opening and Closing Hood systems.
Warning: Always check the area around the hood for obstructions (such as people or objects) before closing the hood. Failure to do so could result in serious injury to a person or damage to the vehicle.
Caution: Do not use excessive force when closing the hood, as the hood panel could be damaged.

To close the hood:

  1. Gently lower until the hood is almost closed.
  2. Place your hands on top of the hood at the points illustrated.
  3. Gently press until you feel the power auto-cinch take over to pull it closed.


  4. After closing, check that the latch is fully engaged by attempting to lift the front edge of the hood. The hood should be free from all movement.
